## Summary

The Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust is overseeing the procurement process for the "Child Development Service (CDS) in Brent for CLCH ONW," classified within the health services industry. This invitation specifically targets services related to community paediatric assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and general assessments aimed at supporting disabled children and those with developmental delays and complex Neurodisabilities. The contract, valued at £524,000, was awarded in March 2026 to London Autism Clinic Ltd under a direct award procedure without a prior call for competition, using the Countess of Chester F098 Framework for clinical services. The procurement stage is complete, with a contract duration initially set for 6 months and the possibility of extending for an additional 2 months, without extra funding for the extension period. The services are concentrated within the UKI72 region.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in paediatric and neurodevelopmental health services. Companies focusing on early recognition and management of developmental disabilities, particularly those with expertise in ASD assessments, are well-positioned to benefit. Given the focus on supporting children through community-based initiatives, organisations with a strong background in paediatric care, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), could leverage this contract to expand their service offerings in the public health sector. The strategic alignment with the North West London Integrated Care Board initiatives further underscores the potential for longitudinal impact and growth within the children's clinical service unit in Brent. London Autism Clinic Ltd, being a medium-sized clinic, exemplifies how niche expertise can lead to strategic partnerships through such targeted procurement processes.

## Notice

The CLCH Brent Community Paediatric Team sits within Brent Children's Clinical Services Unit (CSU) alongside other specialist services.

The purpose of this contract is to utilise the time-limited, non-recurrent funding provided by the North West London Integrated Care Board (NWL ICB) to CLCH to support the waiting list recovery of ASD and general community paediatric assessments. Therefore, the contract will be for a 6 month period with the option to extend for a further 2 month period, but there will be no additional funding for this extension period it will simply be time for the chosen provider to complete the number of required assessments within the financial envelope.

The core requirements are: 
* To provide early recognition and effective assessment and support to disabled children; consider the health needs of children with developmental disabilities and refer to hospital based and other services as and when appropriate. 
* To identify and manage children with developmental delay under the age of 5 years - SOGS assessment 
* To identify and manage children with complex Neurodisability until the age of 18 years (or 19 years if in a specialist school setting.) 
* To facilitate transition of children with complex physical Neurodisability to appropriate provision. 
* To provide a social communication assessment (ASD) for children under the age of 5 only (not commissioned to provide ADHD assessments).
